It's common for business to publish bio's about executives in their company, and in many places it's required by law to publish changes in the executive organization for a public organization. A similar search of Russian banks will produce bio's about their executives, including the American CEO that I mentioned.

I don't want to comment on this thread about the US Saudi relationship since it's not on topic, and I hadn't even commented on if it's right/wrong for Russia to change its pricing structure for Ukraine for gas. The fact is that Ukraine is in dire straights with respect to gas so it makes sense for their gas company to seek executives that can help them.

Obviously many people there (along with Georgia and Moldova) wanted a closer relationship with Europe, which didn't happen as was expected. The economy, as I mentioned above, was already crap even before this. People got mad, since they thought this was their last hope of getting some improvement in their crappy economy, failing banks, and little possibility for international travel. So yes, they are dealing with the consequences, they are trying to figure out how to heat people's crappy apartments.
